Provo Peaks School generally performs above the state average in English Language Arts and Science, but slightly below the district average. In Mathematics, the school performs around the state average, but below the district average. The school's performance on standardized tests has been relatively consistent over the past few years, with some fluctuations. Provo Peaks School has a high percentage of students from low socioeconomic backgrounds, with around 50-60% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch. However, the school ranks highly (top 25%) among Utah elementary schools in performance for this student subgroup, indicating that it is effectively serving its economically disadvantaged population.

Provo Peaks School's diverse student population is a unique aspect, as many of the nearby schools like Rock Canyon School and Wasatch School have much higher percentages of White students. While Provo Peaks School may not be the highest-performing school in the area, it is providing a quality education to a diverse student population and could potentially focus on improving its Mathematics performance to better align with the district and state averages.

As you review the school rankings data, please be aware that some of the information from certain demographics is missing. The reason for this omission is that the data has been redacted from the source data itself due to low population samples in these specific demographic groups.

Redacting data from low population samples is a necessary step to ensure the reliability and accuracy of the results, as small sample sizes may not be representative of the broader population. Additionally, this measure helps protect the privacy of individuals belonging to these demographic groups.

About Students eligible for discounted/free lunch:

The National School Lunch Program (NSLP) provides low-cost or free meals to students in U.S. public and nonprofit private schools based on household income. Those with incomes below 130% of the poverty line receive free lunch, while those between 130% and 185% qualify for reduced-price lunch. The percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch serves as a marker for poverty, as it reflects the socioeconomic status of families in a given school or district. A higher FRPL rate typically indicates a higher concentration of low-income families, suggesting that the school or district may face additional challenges in providing adequate resources and support for student success.

About Student-Teacher Ratio

Student/teacher ratio is calculated by dividing the total number of students by the total number of full-time equivalent teachers. Please note that a smaller student/teacher ratio does not necessarily translate to smaller class size. In some instances, schools hire teachers part time, and some teachers are hired for specialized instruction with very small class sizes. These and other factors contribute to the student/teacher ratio. Note: For private schools, Student/teacher ratio may not include Pre-Kindergarten.
